Some projects may incur a non-refundable deposit of up to fifty percent (50%) of the project quotation total before any work will commence. The remaining balance of the project quotation total will be due upon completion of the work, before any system, project, files or services are handed over and/or activated for the client.

Nerdonic will provide the client with an opportunity to review the project of development or media types during creation and once they are completed. At completion the project will be deemed accepted and approved by the client unless the client notifies Nerdonic within 2 days of the date the project and its associated materials and files have been released and made available to the client.

In most cases, projects will be made available to the client by the date specified beforehand after final payment. If no date is specified most projects are completed in four (4) weeks. A date can still be discussed during the project work is in progress.
In return, the client agrees to delegate a minimum of a single individual as 'first-point-of-call' to aid Nerdonic with completing the project in a satisfactory and expedient manner.
During the project, Nerdonic will require the client to provide copy and images to be used. If content is not provided within four (4) weeks of the project an official request will be given via email. If no content is handed by the client within four (4) weeks of the original email request Nerdonic has the right to terminate the project and adjust the final payment to reflect on the unfinished project and the client will be sent an email to notify the termination and immediate payment of the remaining balance to be paid. If the client wishes to continue with the project an agreement may be made with Nerdonic to carry on the project, after an agreement is reached and a new quotation is accepted by the client including that of a fifty pound (£50) 'project recommence' fee, the project will continue as normal.
